Brand New Russell

I have a strange relationship with Russell Brand. For many years he has frightened the life out of me. His unique, off beat, quick-fire, articulate and often controversial style of comedy both attracts and repulses me in almost equal measure.

His physicality has the same effect. There is no doubt he oozes sexiness with his long, often leather clad legs, which are a treat, as his swagger. But too often he has looked as if he needs a bath. And as for that bed head, birds nest that occupied the back of his head. Well, all I can say is that it was more collapsed Ivana Trump than sex symbol.

But have you noticed the change in dear Russell? No more birds nest and he looks quite fragrant now! He is altogether shinier and brighter. Nowadays I often find myself smiling at the pictures of him and his new fiancée Katy Perry. They look so great together. He looks like he has finally found himself and has kept what was working and ditched what was not. Proving perhaps that there is nothing like the love of a good woman to bring out the best in a man!

Good luck to them both. I hope to go the distance. I can't wait to see their kids!

About

Name: Barbara ScullyAge: Think I can still say "mid" fortiesRelationship status: Married forever - in a good way. Three daughters, four cats and a dog complete the family

I live in the South Dublin suburb of Cabinteely. My life's a gentle meander - most of the time - through school runs, walking the dog, a bit of baking, coffee mornings with the girls, a bit of gardening, the mandatory housework, some freelance writing, cooking, editing the parish newsletter and reading. In other words a suburban life rooted in my community.

It wasn't always thus. I've had various jobs, from charity PR officer through travel agent to computer teacher - all positions in which I was more or less paid to talk. I still love to talk, and I suppose it is the lack of audience in the burbs, combined with a fear of turning into Shirley Valentine, which has led me to write more. I discovered blogging earlier this year and absolutely love being able to share my thoughts online.

I've got a healthy interest in celebrity goings-on and love catching up on lives that are so completely different from my own. Not that I would swap mine, of course - well not forever, and not at the moment! But who knows what the future holds?
